# MauiKit UI Framework Information

MauiKit is a modular UI framework for building convergent applications.

### What is MauiKit?

MauiKit is a set of templated controls and tools based on Qt Quick Controls. It provides ready-to-use components that follow the Maui Human Interface Guidelines, enabling rapid application development that works seamlessly across desktop and mobile.

- **Platform-specialized** → Components focus on Linux.
- **Convergent** → Single codebase for desktop and mobile
- **LGPL 3 licensed** → Free to use, copy, merge, publish, and distribute

### Why MauiKit?

MauiKit allows developers to build polished, consistent applications using Qt, QML, and C++ with minimal boilerplate. The framework provides UI components designed for both touch and pointer input, blurring the line between desktop and mobile experiences.

### Information

Nitrux uses a custom fork of MauiKit tailored specifically for Linux and our distribution’s hardware requirements. *This fork does not target other platforms*.
